Small Fishing Lake

Curved 
Like a woman 
Shaped to please 
The human eye 

You want to run your fingers 
Along her body 
See where she's ticklish 
What ripples her breathing 
Dip your toes in 

She is calm today 
Full of simple man's fish 
A comfortable rowing rhythm 
Slow and easy 

The warmth of sun's reflection 
Like a mistress 
A twinkle of light on her surface 
Still excites 

A man of contemplation 
Baited and ready 
Awaits the catch of the day 
Steady, 
Steady 

Such a teetering effect 
A stimulating sensation 
She is a tease 
But she gives him what he needs 
Asks nothing in return 

His Sunday afternoon lover 
Covered with evening light 
Whispers the words 
" ... go home to your wife"

Lakefront Winter

The bergs stand, 
isolated statues, 
ballplayers on the diamond 
among waves foaming 
at the mouth. 

The bird lady comes 
wearing blue ear-muffs 
carrying a bag of stale bread. 

Flocks of gulls 
swoop in around her 
like she's their long lost mother, 
a recruiter or the water boy. 

Her over-sized purple gloves 
homerun the crumbs into the crisp wind, 
and thousands of stiff wings 
look like Yankee stadium 
with everyone clapping. 

The tracks will blow over 
and the sand will wear 
a clean white jersey 
as winter holds onto this season 
with a record breaking average.
